“Google collects the purchases you’ve made, including from other stores and sites such as Amazon, and saves them on a page called Purchases.”
I’ve been clicking around for 10 minutes now, and I can’t find the option to turn this off. It’s apparently under “search settings preferences” (like that’s an obvious place for an unrelated feature linked to GMail), but there’s nothing stands out as controlling this “feature”. To delete the records, you have to delete the email the purchase was parsed from.
I’m glad I didn’t expect much to come from Google’s much hyped “privacy matters” announcement.
Finding myself at the “I hate this model” stage. The white panels are a huge pain, the black trim is a time-consuming pain, and I need to figure out where to incorporate some red…
It’ll all turn out ok in the end. Then I need to repeat everything on the other 2.
I don’t care if your car is tiny and “Smart” – if you park like this (blocking the pavement) you’re an asshole ?
“Artisanal versions of Twitter and Facebook hope to keep the good while jettisoning the bad.”
I don’t know exactly when it was added, but WordPress.com finally has a way to export your media uploads! When I moved off of WordPress.com, a couple of years ago, the only way to “get” your media was to export your posts, and your new site would download the files as the posts that used them were imported. This was obviously very error-prone, wouldn’t work for media not used in posts, and spectacularly failed to work for me — leaving a great deal of my uploaded media stranded on the WordPress servers. With this new export option I’ve just downloaded 1.5GB of media from two sites I had hosted on the service, so I might finally be able to reconstruct several old posts. Happy days!
I think I’m going to have to revise my ambitions around finishing 3 Knights this (long) weekend… All of that trim takes a deceptively long time to do! I’ll hopefully get 1 finished off though.

Everybody, every company, ought to have a website: a place they can call their own, a place where your best stuff lives, a place where, when people Google you, they find your site.
“Well, with the launch of a new charity army being mooted by @vidpui and @nerodine , I thought this might be a really good time to go through everything I learned by doing the Salamanders Charity Raffle back in 2015.  I’ve mentioned some of this on Twitter recently, but going through it step by s…”
“I attended a seminar on the science behind the new Contrast Paints and between that and what I saw (and experienced) today, I’d like to share as much of it with you as possible. At the moment information is a little light on the ground (though that is sure to change in the coming weeks leading up to their release), so I hope this can be your one-stop shop for getting up to speed on Citadel’s new paint system.”
I can’t wait to try these paints. I have acquired a large backlog of miniatures I don’t care enough about to paint with the long-winded “traditional” method, so having something I can use to churn out entire units in a few hours will help me get them out of the cupboard and usable in games.

These will share a similar fate. I was just slightly perturbed that they’re directly targetting me. My partner hasn’t had any mailed to her, and apparently many of her friends are the same – their (male) partners have received the same leaflets as me, but they haven’t. Lucky them!
““@MstrKapowski Send them GDPR requests…about where they got your data from, watch them scramble to not get the info to you in time and thenreport them so they get fined! It’s what I’m doing! #theEUstrikesback””
Someone suggested this to me offline, and I’ve definitely been thinking about it… it’s just the right level of petty ?
